All had 8 boards or more today. We can't shoot a lick, but we battled hard. Nice work.
8 minutes for Young and Watson... no boards. Ride the small lineup. Little things.

Some predicted that this team wouldn’t hit stride without riding Jackson ahead of either of the young bigs up front. Think it was even suggested way back in November. 😎

I have been a proponent of riding the small lineup...at this stage, our bigs hurt more than they help. We shot 36% from the floor including 22% from 3 and we won the game. This team can't shoot, but I am proud of the scrappy effort.

This team can't shoot, but I am proud of the scrappy effort. I like to sub in Watson early and see if that jump hook thing of his is working because if it is, he can pile up some quick points and loosen things up from the outside. Today that didn't happen. Back in GTown it was sweet. |

Watson is an offensive talent, but he kills on the defensive end. That's why Cooley ran small for 2nd half and OT.

Right there with you yank
This team cannot really shoot so Cooley has made some nice interesting adjustments.
Like starting White.
And staying "small".
Short sub patterns, in and out.
And more...
Result?
Wasn't pretty but think about it - we took Creighton out of their game today.
Lots of hustle on defense carried the day.
